Re: Competition Ok, where to start here...
First that is for MD5 hash sums, Not for RC cipher used on a standard router.
secondly much of the work is precomputed - the WPA cipher "salts" the pass-phrase based on the SSID making it immune to this type of attack ( even with a Precomputed hash table it still only works with dictionary attacks)

1 edit | said by DataRiker:The key is only as strong as one wants it to be. Using a simple keys like the video is highly misleading. The cipher is WPA is not broke nor has there even been a DEMONSTRATED weakness. A complex key will stop a bruteforce attack in its tracks. To be clear, I'm not trying to disagree with here, but, I feel it's safe to say, the majority (80%? Maybe I'm being too generous) of WPA keys are not complex. Maybe the comments should be pointing to the end-users' weak password complexity, instead of outright saying WPA is weak / WPA can be cracked with ease.
Given that, the video is indeed misleading to prove it's own point.
I don't think that app would fare too well against a password in 3 different languages with unique slang and random numbers.
